" VIENNA, OCT. i i .—On the sth the Peace be tween France and 4kustria was settled, but ihe Em- peror FRANCIS refZised to ratify the conditions. Af ter several conferences, however, and several jour- Dies of Count BUBNA, the obstacles were at last removed, and on the 13th, in the evening, the Count brought to the Prince of Lichtenstein full powers for the formal signature of the-treaty, which was ac cordingly signed at nine o'clock in she morning of the 14th." COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The house last night was (pier until half-price, when a determined body of O. P. advocates entered the Pit, and commenced their usual serenade of howling, groans, rattles, horns, and other discordant instruments. A person of mean appearance thrust himself in a most indecent manner into one of the dress-boxes, where he greatly annoyed two la.iies of respectable appearance by his vulgar expre,sions and filthy dress. He was requested by several Gentle men in the box to conduct himself properly, but the advice was answered by a volley of abuse. In con sequence of his determined effrontery, a gerwral cry prevailed of "Turn him out !" The ungracious task of putting him out was undertaken by a spirited young man, and a great scuffle and disturbance en sued, during which the obnoxious person was driven to the adjoining box, and finally into the passage. The 0. P. symbols, on this occasion, were re markably numerous. Many were gilt with, and surmounted by, a large crown. Others were of plated metal, and some printed in a striking manner. The friends of the row appear, indeed, to improve in their ideas of distinction. In addition to the hat. ini tials, new theatrical medals were worn on the breast, suspended from the neck by a garter blue ribband. This ornament cuts a very binnacle figure. We ob served them worn 'by ladies. One man in the Boxes displayed a caricature in his hat, namely, a figure of John Buil, with a rattle in his hand, exclaiming " Old Prices !". at his feet lay a man, whom John Bull was in the aa of kick ing. We leave our readers to fortn their owal conitruelion of the • meaning of these sym bols. The Pit was not more than two-thirds filled, and the vacant seats enabled the opposi tionists to prat-tise a new dance, which they named the Rattle Snake Minuet. This nouvelle movement was performed by two Terformers, each holding a watchman's rattle. The first was followed by the second man, at the distance of about six or eight yards, and by running over the Pit, springing their rattles at intervals, they kept up a continua! noise, and were joined by loud shouts of clamorous approbation from their companions. The O.P. dance was not forgotten, and, in short, the voices of the performers were completely drown ed. In the Farce of The Portrait of Cervantes, the comic app - earance of Liston, in a shroud, which has frequently produced involuntary laughter, was to tally disregarded, and all the mirth attached to the piece was supersede,' by the disturbance which pre vailed in the Pit. The placards were numerous, but they displayed no novelty or humour. Among them we noticed— ‘ Be tire► in the cause, Injustice not tearing: You have public applau 4 se, spite of Mainwaring." - 44 john 13u11 expects every 0. P. to do his duty." " John Bull can't be imposed on ; Threats won't make h►nt dissemble ; His voice has silenc'd many a Don, So it will Johnny Kemble." " Rally and conquer." Alter the curtain dropped, the Pittites rested from their labours, and sung, " God save the King," " Rule Britannia, and " Hearts of Oak." They then left the Theatre and dispersed. THE LATE MR. HILL—Hr. HILL, who died on Thursday last, has left property to the enormous amount of 800,0001. To Mr. FISH, of Greville street, Hatton-Garden, and to another gentleman, he has left 360,0001. each; to the Rev. Mr. TAY- Loa, his nearest relative, who was offered 100,0001. some time ago, for the chance of his legacy, .he has bequeathed 36,0001. He has left nothing to his relatives in Svmersetshire, whom he had placed on a valuable estate in that county, which he had bought for 75,0001. and which he had assured them they should inherit. Mr. HILL, the Testator, was originally a tailor at Brentford ; and the person who succeeded him in that business still 4.iirries on the trade in that town. It was by the Powder Mills at Whitton that Mr. HILL realised his vast fortune.— He enjoyed the complete supply of Turkey its pow der, whence he imported back the produce of the Levant, and with it .carried on tbo business of a Turkey Merchant. 1/3.4211, Nov. 14, We haVe had a public expression dale Malignity that is sure to attend great talents at this , place. — About six Or eigh, per , 4ins went io the Theatre for the purpose of hissing CATALAN'. One of these men, and only one, placed himself in the Pit, but to the honour of the inhabitants of Bath, he was turned out instantly with disgrace. The rest of the pitiful maleconteuts, fearing a similar reception, either left the Theatre, or sunk into silent submis- Sion to the general liberality of sentiment which chara&erised the audience. CATALAN I; however, was so agitated by the applause which.she received, and the shock which the interruption excited, that she was hardly able to sustain herself. She was afterwards very ill, and the effect, it is said, has been such as extreme agitation usually produces in connubial life. The Magistrates are, with laudable zeal, attempting to trace the conspiracy against an amiable-woman of uncommon talents, resolved to prevent any re petition of the insult. It would be disgraceful in deed if such conduCt could be tolerated for a mo ment in a place like this, where the freedom, quiet, and safety with which public entertainments can be given are great and sssential requisites to the in terests of the inhabitants.

UNION-HALL.—William Daniels, a patrole, was charged with severely wounding a poor man named Laws, on Sunday morning last. It appears that Laws had passed the preceding evening at a public house in the neighbourhood, where he met with a sailor, who proving to be his countryman, both coming from Birmingham, Laws had invited him home. The sailor accepted the invitation, but be 'corning quarrelsome in hi: - 4 cups, Laws found it ne cessary, although he is a military man himself, to call the aid of the civil power about three o'clock in. the morning, to assist in turning his new acquairi tance into the street. Instead of doing this, how ever, Daniels struck Liws, and seizing him by the collar, dragged him into the street, when Laws' wife called out that her husband would be killed.— Daniels swore he would have his life, and .striking at him with his sword, wounded *him severely on the side of his head. Laws was immediately taken to the hospital, where he still remains ; and .Daniels was remanded till Laws shall be suffici, ntiv recovered to appear at this Offic e .

Residents at that place and it's vicinity to prolong their stay in that country for three months from tild date of the 16th of August, after which time their residence will not be prl , 7ltted. The Treaty t hat was to have been signed in the latter end of Au gust is not yet concluded, but I suppose it reach your country with the Lord Hobart pack(tt.— If it had been settled, it would have been sew by the Con,fiance sloop of war, which sailed on the 23d ult. It is conjectured here that the &lay in the signing of the Treaty is owing to the .recent change in the Government of our neighbours the Spaniards ; but I cannot say positively whether there is yet any •negociation going forward at La Plata, though one was spoken of as a certainty at the time of Sir SIDNEY SMITH'S departure; never theless, the obstructions that were previously thrown in the way of commerce at La Plata, are now in • some ,measure removed by the smuggling trade § which is allowed only to pacify some of the people at Buenos Ayres, though this permission is under stood to be only extended to the period of the depar• cure of the English. The ships that have. unloaded will not be permitted to take in any cargo for Eng land, but must now proceed with their cargoes to Rio and Para, which, no doubt, the Spanish Go. vernment are aware of, I believe that Admiral Da COURCY is still off La Plata, or in its vicinity, as we have no ship of war here, but exped the arrival of the Magicienne frigate, with the three, brigs and c cutter that took the convoy from England to thr:., Cape in May last. The Lord Hobart piCket is ap" pointed to sail on the 20th just."
